Sep 8, 2024 · A couple guys in my band still say it was their favorite bass tone of all the ones I've played with them, and I am also a huge Bruce Thomas. 1. I think the fit and finish are fantastic. 2. Tone and volume knobs are fine, not quite as nice as my American-made G&L, but it's much cheaper, of course. 3.
Apr 20, 2020 · 241. 204. Nov 30, 2022. #1. I just put my order in for a Bruce Thomas Profile Bass, in salmon pink of course. Setup is Friday, then they ship it on Monday from the UK to the US. Hopefully it will show up not too long after that. The guy said it could take less than a week. I'm getting it set up with flats, to contrast with my rounds on my other ...
Dec 23, 2020 · Profile Bass | Bruce Thomas. "it’s not a stock bass I’ve simply added my name to — but a genuine personally-developed signature guitar. Our intention was not to produce a replica model or a phoney vintage guitar, but to create a new instrument true to the spirit of the original — a bass that’s a joy to play.
Jan 11, 2014 · 734. Cape Cod, MA. Jan 11, 2014. #2. One of the main reasons I started playing bass in 1985. Great tone, groove and it was great that Elvis kept the bass loud in the mix in every recording. He and Pete Thomas really jelled. I've seen Elvis many times, recently 2011 on the Cape but Bruce wasn't with him. It was Elvis, Pete, Steve Nieve on keys ...
1,348. Nov 11, 2018. #1. Ordered a Bruce Thomas Profile Bass from basscentre.com. $663 from London to my doorstep. (Don’t ask about the route UPS sent this poor thing on, which BassCentre had nothing to do with.) Changed the strings to Kalium balanced tension hybrids (original strings were way too zingy for me), and put a Tusc nut on it.
Jun 14, 2007 · Sep 21, 2009. 67. 65. Aug 15, 2024. #1. I'm pretty close to impulse buying Bruce's Profile bass, but I want to get some community feedback from those who have owned one. One user review states: The neck is great! The fingerboard width is reminiscent of a ’60s P-bass, but the neck width is somewhat slimmer, making it really easy to play.
20. 1. 59. San Diego; Anaheim; and, Visalia, CA. Visit site. Jun 4, 2002. #4. I have always loved Bruce Thomas' playing, and credit him as my inspiration for having taken up the instrument. "Lipstick Vogue", "Party Girl", "Shabby and "Shabby Doll" are but a few of the Elvis Costello songs where Thomas shines.
Feb 1, 2002 · Bruce Thomas is an excellent example of what it means to develop one's own voice on the instrument... As much as Elvis and Bruce apparently hate one another personally, it's hard to deny that they made a great team musically. One gets the feeling that Elvis' quirky, eccentric tunes brought out the best in Bruce's highly creative, high-energy ...
Oct 31, 2016 · Scotland. Jun 3, 2020. #1. Those of you following the Bass Meme thread will know that today is my wife’s birthday. It’s also the day my new bass arrived, oops! So apart from upstaging my wife’s presents it’s been a great day here. I’ve only checked it over and tuned her up but I think that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
